Oh that looks awesome, can't wait to try it out!

AWESOME!!!!!!

Remember guys, SweetFX can be edited a lot easier than ENB, so if you find some really impressive settings, feel free to post a screenshot or video of it here. I also would like to see if I can improve the graphics more. I'll test ENB with SweetFX tomorrow and see if it is a improvement.

EDIT: Tested it with ENB, didn't like the results.

I tried this with an AMD GPU, and I couldn't do it properly. Here's what happened (blurry):




And this is what it looked like before:



Can someone explain how to do this for AMD GPUs?



First post btw

Original settings when it was 16 and 8



with the 4x4 and 4 now applied



Both have all the same settings as yours, only changed those 2.

Excellent writeup SirBond. Thanks for directing me here from my other thread. Read through your guide and followed your steps and my game looks great. Only thing is that I have an ATI card, so instead of NVidia Inspector I used RadeonPro/. Haven't tweaked with the settings too much but I'll post a screen of them as well as my in-game in a bit.

I'm sure these settings could be fine tuned, like I said I roughly followed the guide and applied what I thought was right. If you come up with something better post up. I made sure to turn off AA from PRLauncher. Also in RadeonPro make sure you create a profile for PRBF2 and that once you're done to apply the settings.


Vanilla vs SweetFX (with my AA settings)

[KaB]

Vanilla looks softer. Isn't SweetFX a pain for the eyes ?

However it seems the SweetFX offers a better readability, and makes the targets easier to see.

[GoEz]

I don't think it hurts the eyes. It really brings out more vivid colors and adds a crispness to the textures. Also it is tweakable to your preference, I'm just using the posted settings because I'm lazy.

It seems changing your settings is having no effect. Make sure your AA behavior flag isn't set to treat 'override any application setting' as 'application-controlled' as I mentioned in step 1. Set it to None

Because you had a issue with not extracting Nvidia Inspector properly, make sure you re-download Nvidia Inspector, when extracting the files from the zip and make sure the all the files stay together, just extract all the files into a folder on your desktop.

Make sure you have PRBF2.exe added to the BF2 list in Nvidia Inspector. The .exe is in your main BF2 folder.

Make sure your anti-aliasing is set to Off in the PR launcher!

Make sure you have the right settings.

I think you set your Negative LOD Bias to +1.0
It should be set to -1.0

I've tried to fine tune it as much as I can. This is the perfect balance I found in all conditions. In night maps, the colors are not too dim, resulting in people disappearing when they shouldn't, and in desert maps which are bright, the colors are not to bright resulting in washed out colors. This is the best I can get it, using sparse gride super sampling has reduced some of the zfighting, but it is still there. If you can find a way to completly remove it, I will be happy.
